Holiday Tree Skirt Quilting Workshop NEW! • Register • View Cart •

Quilted Tree Skirt
Add a special touch to your holiday tree by making your very own tree skirt.  All levels of ability from beginner to more advanced will learn to cut and construct their tree skirt in this 3 week class.  The first class will take place at a fabric store where the instructor will help you select all the materials needed to make your tree skirt.


Instructor:  Melissa J. Dawson

Since making her first quilt in 1995 Melissa has tried various techniques and styles, but regardless of technique, design or materials they all rely on understanding the basics of measuring, color and construction. This beginning class will introduce these basics and encourage students to expand them into their own unique sense of color and design.
